Hey guys,
I downloaded the carrier update of 5.5 on my iPhone 3g 8gb yesterday and was not able to send or receive picture messages. I never received any whatsoever and when I tried sending I would just get the red exclamation mark asking me to resend. I had even tried restoring my phone with it's backup to see if it would help any but I got nothing out of it.
So I talked to AT&T online today while at work and was able to get it worked out. If you're having a similar situation, try going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings. The customer representative had helped me to figure this out and once my phone restarted I received picture messages a few people had tried sending me and I was also able to send pictures in a flash.
Give it a whirl and I hope it will solve your problem like it did mine!
